Wednesday, September 9, 2015 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Obituaries High Desert Chorale starts practice Megan D. Sweet December 11, 1927 — August 29, 2015 Born in Longmont, Colorado to Morgan and Esther Williams, she spent many happy years growing up around the Forks Hotel in Loveland, Colorado. Megan was a self-taught pianist that went on to learn music theory and composi- tion. She taught piano while living in Manhattan Beach, California, while raising her children. When she owned the “No Name Bar” in Sausalito, California, she brought in a piano for live jazz that continues today. In the early ’70s she worked for Harry & David as a computer programmer. Megan had a vora- cious appetite for read- ing history and politics. She was an advocate for civil rights, education, and peace. She later became a fiber artist, knitting, crocheting or quilting beautiful sweaters, blankets and dolls. Megan is survived by her husband of 34 years, Robert By Jim Anderson Correspondent Sweet; her daughters Tina West, Tisha Thompson, PJ Clark-Lais; and her son Cliff Clark as well as 10 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She loved living in Camp Sherman and, up until her diagnosis of Parkinson’s, walked daily along the Metolious River stopping for an occasional conversa- tion with friends. Her lov- ing smile will be missed by all. In lieu of flowers, memo- rial gifts can be made in her name to Partners in Care Hospice, 2075 N.E. Wyatt Ct. Bend, OR 97701.
